A service worker runs the code in the "install" event when it is
awoken, during which time you would have to register handlers for
global events. The only difference with having specific registrations
is that you would have to force the install event to wait for the
promise:
this.addEventListener("install", e => {
e.waitUntil(
this.geolocation.geofence.getRegistrations().then(fences => {
fences.forEach(fence => { fence.onenter = handleEnter; });
})
);
});
This (e.waitUntil) is a standard feature of service workers.
